    Surplus Iranian 8mm teardown info

    I'm sure this topic has been beat on a lot but I thought I'd post what I've learned over the last few days. I don't post much because I don't have a lot of new things to bring to the table but I thought this might be of interest. I recently picked up an M76 from Assault Weapons of Ohio in...

    CETME port buffer build

    Not sure how many loads I'll get out of them. I plan on shooting a few hundred rounds this weekend. I want to see what kind of shape the brass is in before I get too optimistic. The fluted chamber and ejection process are hard on the cases. Rob, the test cases look OK but good call on...

    Up to 700$ gun what are your suggestions?

    Decent AKs or SKSs are a good value and cheap to feed. Accuracy means different things to different people. I'm happy center massing a D target at 500 yards over open sights while other folks are puttng their second shots through the hole in the paper their first ones made through optics. I've...

    CETME port buffer build

    Got bored this evening and made a port buffer out of some scrap aluminum I had laying around. The el cheapo brass catcher I got was more trouble than its worth so I made this to help it out. Not an elegant piece of gear but for an hour of my time I'll take it :) I'm hoping this will help me get...

    Time to test it!

    Yeah I've read about those I need to check them out. I'm still trying to decide how much money I want to put into a $550 rifle.

    Time to test it!

    An AK of some sort is next on my list. Too much cheap 7.62 short around not to have something that shoots it. I'll take the higher priced mags for the cheaper ammo.

    Time to test it!

    Got the new (to me, anyway) green furniture and HK rear sight on my new toy. While I had it apart I did a little more polish work on the trigger. Plan is to head to the gun show tomorrow morning and pick up all the reloadable ammo I can carry home and then hit the range in the afternoon to...

    Reccomend me a .308 Battle Rifle

    Sorry, I know the CETME wasn't on your list but I thought I'd throw that option out there. I got a decent one judging by the fit and finish and the way it ran the first 400 rounds. I don't know much about the FALs beyond what I read when trying to decide between it and the CETME/HK but it's...

    Reccomend me a .308 Battle Rifle

    I just picked up a new Century CETME at the local gun show for just over $600 out the door. Love it so far. Sights aren't the best but I have an adjustable HK rear sight on its way now. I also don't like the safety (fire is up) but once I figure out my 922 parts count with the mods I want it...

    New guy- wanted to say thanks

    Yeah, I'm kind of ate up with it lately :) I had most of the stuff for casting on hand from pouring sinkers so the bullet casting was a logical step. I got a 2 cavity 310 gr. and 6 cavity 240 gr. mold for what a box of 1000 FMJ bullets cost. The biggest reason I got into it was the cost...

    What is going on with all the equipment being sold out?

    Yeah, I just bought the Frankford on Amazon. Came with separator, brass polish, and media. I should have bought the Cabela's one but I was ordering stuff from Amazon anyway. Only used it for a week or so and done a few hundred. 44 mags but so far so good. I did notice a lot of the wholealers my...

    New guy- wanted to say thanks

    I just got my Hornady L&L progressive set up and have loaded a few hundred rounds with bullets I cast myself. I spent a lot of time researching reloading safety and techniques as well as bullet casting. Most of the time Google sent me here and I learned a lot from the site. Very satisfying to...
